What is the Pillar and Wall Guard?
The Pillar and Wall Guard is a durable, flexible, and shock-absorbing panel designed to reduce the risk of injury from accidental bumps. It can be easily installed on a variety of surfaces, including pillars, wall edges, and corners.
This solution is especially useful for covering structural columns that cannot be relocated but may present a hazard in open areas where children play or move around. By softening hard surfaces, the guard helps minimize the impact of collisions, making environments safer and more child-friendly.
Why use wall and pillar protection?
In any environment where children are active, accidents can happen in seconds. A child falling or running into a pillar or wall can result in bruises, tears, and stress for everyone involved. By using wall and pillar protection, you help prevent these situations before they occur.
Each safety feature—whether it’s a wall protector, corner guard, or finger guard—contributes to a safer and more child-friendly space. Arte Viva products are an important step toward creating environments where children can thrive safely.
Can the Pillar Wall Guard be used outdoors?
Yes, the Pillar Wall Guard is perfectly suitable for outdoor use, including on poles that support sunshades in schools, playgrounds, and recreational areas. Made from durable, weatherproof, and UV-resistant materials, it withstands sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations while maintaining its protective properties.
Its soft, impact-absorbing surface helps prevent injuries by cushioning accidental collisions, significantly enhancing safety in any outdoor environment where children play.
Where should wall and pillar protection be used?

- Structural pillars and support columns
- Wall corners and sharp edges
- Hallways and corridors
- Classroom and daycare walls
- Gymnasium walls and posts

While primarily designed for professional and public environments, wall and pillar protection can also be beneficial in private homes. They are especially useful in areas like home playrooms, living rooms with exposed columns, or stairwells—anywhere a child might fall or collide with a hard surface.
Can I install the products myself?
It is recommended that the Pillar Wall Guard be installed by a professional. However, it is possible to install it yourself. The products are supplied with manuals and videos. When designing our products, simple installation is one of the key considerations. All Arte Viva products can be installed by yourself.
Are all walls suitable for the Arte Viva wall protectors?
For optimal performance, the walls should be compact, firm, flat, and coherent. If you’re unsure whether your surfaces are suitable, we’re happy to advise you.
What is the minimum height that I need to protect the walls and pillars?
The minimum height of the protection depends on the space and the target group. Our wall and pillar protectors can be found in many different places. You can cover a lower part in a playgroup than in a nursing home where there are mainly adults. If you are in doubt about the height to be chosen, we will gladly advise you on this.
